Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 1999 FORD 7.3 DIESEL (112,000 MI), THIS IS THE SECOND CAM POSITION SENSOR TO GO OUT. IN THIS INSTANCE WHEN THE SENSOR WENT OUT THE TRUCK SHUT ITSELF OFF, AS IF THE IGNITION HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. IT DIED JUST BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWN A VERY STEEP HILL. HAD THE TRUCK DIED WHILE GOING DOWN THE HILL, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK WITHOUT POWER BRAKES. WE ALSO HAVE A 2002 F350 7.3 LITER DIESEL THAT HAS ONE CAM POSITION SENSOR REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 7.3 LITER TRUCKS AND IN MY OPINION A DANGEROUS ONE, SINCE THE TRUCK TURN THEMSELVES OFF WITH NO WARNING. WITH THE ENGINE OFF, THERE IS NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING ON A TRUCK THAT WEIGHS SEVERAL TONS, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *JB
